Survival Priorities
Fall is here. The summer heat is receding. Color season has begun. Hunting season is either already here or fast approaching. It’s time to get outside and start exploring!
Those who venture into the wild know that there is an element of danger involved. That’s part of what draws us to the wilderness. But there’s no reason to venture out recklessly. A critical part of preparing for your expedition is planning your survival strategy. Below is a list of some of the most critical survival priorities. These priorities are not necessarily listed in rank order, as your survival priorities may change based on your situation.
Out of the Comfort Zone
We can choose to remain in our comfort zone and avoid difficulty and allow our personal growth to stagnate. Or we can decide to step out of our comfort zone into the wild—into an environment that brings new challenges and new adventures.
Trying new things comes with the risk of failure. But failure is not final. The more we try and fail and learn from our failures, the better we will become. The more we practice the discipline of stepping out of our comfort zone, the better equipped we’ll be to handle stressful and unpredictable situations, and the more we will be able to assist others.
Planning for Unpredictable Spring Weather
The weather can be our enemy, or, with a little education and planning, we can live in harmony with our environment. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the weather patterns in the area you’re planning to explore. Don’t take foolish and unnecessary risks by failing to take simple precautions. Know the risks, plan ahead, and thrive in the wild!
Stay in the Fight!
